High-pressure vapor-liquid equilibria for the binary carbon dioxide + 3-pentanol system were measured at 313.2 K. The phase equilibrium apparatus used in this work was of the circulation type in which the coexisting phases were recirculated, on-line sampled, and analyzed. The critical pressure and corresponding mole fraction of carbon dioxide at 313.2 K were found to be 8.22 MPa and 0.974, respectively, for this binary system. The phase equilibria for the ternary carbon dioxide + 3-pentanol + water system were also measured at 313.2 K and pressures of 2.00, 4.00, 6.00, 8.00, and 8.25 MPa. This ternary system showed the liquid-liquid-vapor (LLV) phase behavior over the range of pressure up to the critical pressure of 8.25 MPa. The binary equilibrium data were all reasonably well-correlated with the Redlich-Kwong, Soave-Redlich-Kwong, Peng-Robinson, and Patel-Teja equations of state incorporated with the eight different mixing rules: the van der Waals, Panagiotopoulos-Reic, and six modified Huron-Vidal mixing rules with UNIQUAC parameters. For the prediction of high-pressure phase equilibria for the systems containing carbon dioxide and alcohols, the SRK-MHV2 might reproduce many features of the measured behavior although further tests are needed with other systems.
